Punchestown Race 5 - Watch At Simonnottracing On Youtube Handicap Hurdle
ONTHEROPES (1) was thirteenth here two starts back then improved when 1.3L second over 4727m at Gowran Park. Further progress likely. Holds leading claims. SMALL TOWN HERO (2) was eased out in a Listed contest tackling 4828m at Leopardstown most recently. Capable of a sharp rebound eased in standard. WELL DEL (4) finished tenth attempting 4727m at Gowran Park after a solid third at Leopardstown two runs earlier. Better expected and can rediscover form. Warrants serious consideration. HE'S HOME AGAIN (5) returns from three months off following a 4828m hurdle sixth at Cork providing only outing last campaign. Fresh profile appeals. Worth including.

Last start finished tenth of 15 starters at Gowran Park on January 22 over 4727m, on a wet track; 40 len behind The Lovely Man carrying 68.5kg at $5. Run before finished third of 13 starters at Leopardstown on December 29 over 4928m, 3.5 len behind Kish Bank carrying 65kg at $5. Gets a chance to win. May well be worth another try.
